Project detail

◀ Design

The design uses cascading terraces and 3D landscape platforms to complement the site’s topography while enhancing the commercial space and experience. Tianfu Food Island creates an open, community-shared public space where diners and visitors alike can immerse in its vibrant atmosphere and community spirit.

▶ Facade

The design makes extensive use of aluminum panels in various shapes and finishes, combined with stone and glass elements. This blend of materials not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also creates a dynamic visual contrast. The aluminum panels, with their diverse forms and textures, add depth and modernity to the structure, while the stone and glass elements contribute a sense of natural elegance and transparency. This combination ensures the design is both striking and harmonious, effectively balancing contemporary architecture with timeless materials.

Metalwork

In the commercial area, GBA has proposed a variety of metalwork solutions that provide shading functions and effectively manage rainwater, demonstrating significant practicality.

  • Louvre Fin: The adjustable rotating louvres play a crucial role in controlling light exposure, offering effective shading while optimizing indoor comfort and helping to reduce energy consumption.

  • Perforated: The angled faceted design of the perforated panels not only adds a unique architectural aesthetic but also allows for natural ventilation and light filtering, enhancing both the functionality and beauty of the space.

  • Seamless: The small-radius seamless system features a finely crafted design that presents a smooth appearance. Its continuous seamless connections enhance the modern feel of the building while providing structural stability and protective functionality.
